CBC projects Conservative government

Canadians have re-elected Stephen Harper's Conservatives, but it is still unclear whether the party will gain enough seats across the country to form a majority government, CBC News projects.

The Tories' fortunes were buoyed early in the evening by surprising gains in Atlantic Canada, especially in New Brunswick, despite the party being shut out in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Meanwhile in Ontario, early returns suggested vote-splitting was cutting into Liberal support in the party's traditional heartland.

For Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion and NDP Leader Jack Layton, Tuesday's results might be considered enough to warrant tests of their leadership, as the Liberals and NDP evaluate their chiefs' campaign performances and what the parties gained or lost in the formation of the next Parliament.

:rofl:

Was a month ago!

Are you predicting a majority?

Now that the CBC has projected a minority, what is your projection of things to come?

or lose them.

Must have come from the rest room.

It doesn't require a PhD dissertaton to figure that much out, does it?

Straight from the Reform type of a quick answer.

You for your deep analysis in the washroom again!

silly stuff, and try and think of your country for ten seconds.

You might find it invigorating.

No thanks.

When you get to THIS century, let me know.

Harper minority government again. This time a stronger minority. In my riding, we've lost Keith Martin (liberal and a really great guy) to the con candidate. by 3000 votes. 3500 voted green.

ELECTORAL REFORM! 36% of voters are imposing their choice on the rest of us. But I doubt that electoral reform will be on the agenda of the con government. It suits them much too well, and we'll be stuck with it until we can unite the center and left just as the cons and reform party united the right.

My best hope now is that Obama wins, because Harper is such a USA suckup that he might just turn black come November.
